First off, I need to learn HTML for posts so I can imbed mp3s into the posts. I have all these great rare tracks and b-sides I want to post but instead i have to use this crappy project playlist thing that doesn't even have most the songs I want.
Ok, so I went to Jackson Hole for a two day shoot a few weeks ago, and it was a cold one....
We shot at a pretty crazy hotel outside of town and let me tell you this job was complete torture. Not because the job sucked, or because the days were long, but because ever day we were there they got THREE feet of snow on the mountain every day I was there. I only had one day on the mountain this year and I was going crazy as it was. The shoot was uneventful....one day we literally set up a seamless and shot studio. Oh the excess of the photo industry. I spent the other day wrapping my monitors and macpro in plastic bags so we could shoot spring clothing outside in 15 degree blizzard weather. Poor models and even poorer client. They flew us out there to get the tetons in the background and we never once saw them. Until the day everyone left and I stayed for a day of blue bird - 2 feet of fresh snow skiing with my dad who drove over on the last night. My boss was kind enough to pay for my ticket change so I could stay and ski for two days, the second being the best day of skiing I've had in my entire life.
Backing up...on the wrap night we went out with all the local PAs to some crazy dive bar and just acted obnoxious. I seem to remember doing the waltz with the 1st assistant while the photographer bought tray after tray of vodka shots. It got a bit ridiculous once the one of the PA's puked in the sink in the men's bathroom and blamed one of us. It got even more ridiculous when....well I guess some things are best left on the road. Ahh if only every trip could be just like that. Except for the work, the 22 equipment cases (and $1500 in overages each way), and the vodka. Ok I guess the vodka can stay.
